The only reason I didn't check everything above is that we were sad to learn the Ca. Cafe closed for good the day after we were there. It's had it's ups and downs but we were sorry to hear it will be taken over and become an Italian restaurant.

We went to California Cafe on what, I later discovered, was one of their last nights open. Our meal was very good, the service was very slow to start. It was at least 45 minutes between when we had our menus and when the waiter arrived to take our order. After learning that they were closing, it made sense. The staff seemed very pre-occupied and I can't blame them. Once we ordered, everything moved along normally and our meal was delivered in a timely manner. I actually didn't mind not having a waiter hover.

Always reliably good food...unpretentious and not overpriced... will miss this place! Have been here with friends and family too many times to count over the last 30 years...can't believe our neighborhood mainstay is closing. :(Hoping it will reopen somewhere close by and soon.

I returned to California Cafe after several months of avoiding the restaurant. The last time I dined here the service was slow and lacking. I had a much better experience tonight that has boosted my confidence about California Cafe. The service was very good and there were multiple staff members attending to our table. My guest commented on how nice the dining experience was and shared plans to return on her own. It appears management has made some positive changes. Let's hope this trend continues.

We have eaten at the california cafe in both los gatos and at stanford many times over the years. Se do prefer Los Gatos.

Unfortunately this time we had a problem. I have a severe Soy Allergy and advised our waiter of this. I had an allergic reaction to something. Our guess is the pannini that was made out of house. I ended up with tingling swollen lips, swollen tongue and throat plus horrible diarhea before I even left the restaurant. My face also swelled. My allergy pills worked after two double doses. Iwas close to using mu eppi-pen for the first time or even going to the ER.
